Avoiding the front gate photographers

[calakapepe]

I wanna get paid to take pictures!

[marth555]

Yeah it would be pretty cool to not only work at KI but to do so as a photographer

[SpectralBeacon]

I usually go ahead and have mine taken, i can get wanting to avoid them though. Last season whenever i didn't go alone i always made my friends with me get their picture with me regardless of how unenthusiastic they were, i mean hey it takes a couple of seconds and a lot of rides are gonna take your picture throughout the day, best to make fun of the situation

I miss those little things you looked through with one eye (kinda like a mono-viewfinder). Those were my favorite photography product that they sold.

Split up when you walk in. I tested it a few times last year with my wife; out of about a dozen occasions with the two of us together we get stopped every time, unless we run past a group getting their picture taken already. If she walks off to the bathroom (she is pregnant) and I walk past the photographers while I wait for her, I only got stopped once by myself out of about a half dozen times.

^^^ I'll second that... I've done much of my theme parking solo, and I notice that the front gate photographers largely ignore a solitary guest...

[calakapepe]

Why shouldn't they? Who would want to take a picture with someone who goes to theme parks alone? Who would want to share memories with themselves?

Whatever their reason for avoiding us flying solo, I'm thankful for it

It's always funny to me when I am apparently walking close enough to another (unknown) individual that the paparazzo thinks we're together and tries to get us to scrunch together for a shot.

Sounds like a love story waiting to happen if that happens between two single people.

I miss them too. I am the smallest one in this picture.

I'm having bad flashbacks from my childhood and all the characters that seemed to swarm the entrance. They made for a great photo op if you aren't terrified of them!

Good ol Quick Draw!

Just turn the tables on them and take your camera out. I wonder what their reaction will be.

[marth555]

Ive seen that idea posted on here so many times but Ive never seen anyone post the results

[calakapepe]

They'll probably take a picture of you taking a picture of them taking a picture of you taki.....

[APE]

I forgot to mention before, that picture i posted came from one of the little key chain viewers. I used my phone camera and lined it up with the viewer. I had to do some minor editing but I got a good picture out of it.

I just politely decline, works every time for me

[vermillionlove]

I've never been stopped for a picture when I'm flying solo! But when me and my bf come together we figured out if we splinter off for a bit we won't be asked for a picture, it works out anyway so he can go to the smoking area and I can go to the bathroom or look in the stores in the meantime

 

A while back they would ask him to give me a kiss on the cheek for a photo. It made me wonder if this has ever created awkwardness for a pair visiting the park as friends, especially if one or both of them have feelings for the other that neither have mentioned yet, haha :}
